Spirit of holiness, wisdom and faithfulness

Spirit of holiness, wisdom and faithfulness,
wind of the Lord, blowing strongly and free:
strength of our serving and joy of our worshipping-
Spirit of God, bring your fulness to me!

1. You came to interpret and teach us effectively
all that the Saviour has spoken and done;
to glorify Jesus is all your activity-
promise and gift of the Father and Son:

Spirit of holiness...

2. You came with your gifts to supply all our poverty,
pouring your love on the church in her need;
you came with your fruit for our growth to maturity,
richly refreshing the souls that you feed:

Spirit of holiness ...

3. You came to the world in its pride and futility,
warning of dangers, directing us home;
now with us and in us, we welcome your company:
Spirit of Christ, in his name you have come:

Spirit of holiness ...
